President Uhuru's Call to His Competitors

President Uhuru Kenyatta has invited his political competitors to join hands with him and unite the country following an extended political period.

Addressing faithfuls when he attended a church service at Huruma Redeemed Gospel Church in Nairobi, Uhuru,who will take Oath of Office for his second term on Tuesday, said it was time for the country to heal from deep political divisions.

“To my competitors, we didn’t compete because of the language one speaks or the tribe where one comes from, it is about ideas and there must be a winner and a loser because we are a democracy,” he said.

“There is no need of disturbing Kenyans, they did their part, it is now our duty to sit and agree on what we should do to Kenyans.”

He said political differences should not stop Kenyans from co-existing with one another. "Let us work those differences without affecting the daily life of the people. Because what the people want is peace, security, jobs, health, good education and to know they can retire in their own nation regardless of where they come from. It is for us to argue the best way to achieve this but we don’t to disturb the citizen of this country.”

He was flanked by his deputy William Ruto, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and senator Johnstone Sakaja.
